Women play a vital role in environment management: Kajal Pisal
Actress Kajal Pisal, who plays Tanuja, in the TV show Jhanak talks about role of women, in managing environment management on
World Environment Day
celebrated annually on June 5. The day encourages awareness and action for the protection of the environment.
Says Kajal, "Every woman plays a vital role in environment management by managing household waste, promoting sustainable practices, and influencing family and community behaviour. They are key to reducing waste, conserving resources, and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within their households."
She adds, "They are directly involved in managing household waste, including sorting, recycling, and composting.
Proper waste segregation, separating organic waste from recyclables, and composting food scraps are crucial steps in reducing waste sent to landfills."
According to her, "Wasting food isn't just a humanitarian or social issue - it's also an environmental one." She says, "The food cycle doesn't just end at our trash can. Food waste that ends up in landfills and rots produces a large amount of methane – a more powerful greenhouse gas than even CO2.

The food wasted in landfills is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Additionally, when we throw away food, we're also wasting the time, resources, and energy that went into creating the food initially.
I feel every small step from home brings a huge change. I feel its our duty to address such issues. We need to educate more and more people about the same so that we can protect our environment."
Kajal has previously worked in shows such as Saath Saathiya, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Sasural Simar Ka 2 among others.
